April is National Poetry Month. Beginning in 1996, each April we take time to recognize and celebrate poets and poetry. In 1996, President Clinton commemorated poets saying “Their creativity and wealth of language enrich our culture and inspire a new generation of Americans to learn the power of reading and writing at its best." This week we pulled together a really nice selection of children’s poetry including classics by Silverstein, Stevenson, Tomie dePaola, and Judith Viorst. You’ll also find rhymes, tongue twisters and even poetry by Dean Koontz. There’s a little bit of everything. It’s a fun collection that presents lots of opportunity for reading out loud with the child of your choice.
